Azhar Ali has been very good Pakistan and Pujara has been sensational but the question is who is better now?

pujara India yet to lose a match with him in there side.
Pujara on South africa tour he was in indian squad
india lost first test match
Pujara in these few matches for India looks much more technically sound. Azhar has 3 or 4 centuries in about 10+ Test Matches while Pugara already has 3 inclusing adouble hundred in just about 5[/QUOTE
Overall Our Middel order is comparable to Indian Middel order
Sachin is out of from
Kohil is not good in test as he is in Odi
Yuvraj is also not good in test his test average is 35
He didn't play first test, india won the next test and draw the last.

too early to compare..but these are two good talents to come on the scene..hope both keep doing better
i gotta say even though i am pakistani pujara seem to be the better player, mainly because onces he is in he makes it count and already has a double hundred.
well india is due to tour south africa we will find out then
Azhar Ali is more established players in the line up.
who is this azhar ali ,,the fat guy or the other one?..i keep on confusing btw azhar ali and asad shafik..please koi dono ki photo laga do clarity ke lie
forget about comparison with Pujara
Musaarth Ali is better than Azhar ali..
C.Pujara is better,no doubt ;
Although some blind supporters might disagree.
Lets break their batting down to the important factors needed to be a good batsman:
*Technique-Pujara > Ali
*Temperment- Both pretty equal
*Elegance-Pujara > Ali
Azhar Ali : 27 years old
*List A debut :2000/1 *AVG : 45.92 with 5 hundreds
*FC Debut:2001/02 *AVG: 37.79 with 16 hundreds
C. Pujara : 24 years old
*List A debut : 2006 *AVG : 56.97 with 8 hundreds
*FC Debut: 2005 *AVG: 56.53 with 16 hundreds
Summary :
Pujara is younger but also less experienced than Azhar Ali ; but has a better average & more hundreds than A.Ali.
So in my opinion Pujara is better.![]()
Pujara is an eyesore of a batsman, Azhar Ali is way better than him.
Knew this was coming but right now Azhar is the better player. Played all his cricket away from home and is averaging 45+ without playing in Pakistan. He also has no real quality batsman in the line up to look up to bar Younis whereas Pujara has Sehwag, Gambhir, Sachin & others.
Not saying azhar is better. But bowlers in Pakistan's domestic circuit challenge the batsmen more as compared to Indian domestic bowlers.. So its better to not compare their domestic performances.. And we should wait for pujara to play more matches..
U didnt get my point. I didnt say Pakistan's domestic bowlers are world beaters. Its just that no matter how poor they are as compared to aussie or SA domestic bowlers, they are certainly way better than Indian domestic bowlers so they pose a bigger challenge to the batsman..i dont think pakistan domestic bowlers are good..what we are seeing is real mediocre bowlers in pakistan national team apart from ajmal..![]()

Even they are far better in all forms of cricket than their indian counterparts if you go by facts rather than prejudice...i dont think pakistan domestic bowlers are good..what we are seeing is real mediocre bowlers in pakistan national team apart from ajmal..![]()

This isn't a freaking beauty pageant!!! Both are highly effective players and been very successful so far. Pujara hasnt really played much away. But with his technique and all, one can say he will at worst be reasonably successful. Azhar Ali has played a couple of good knocks in England. Lets see what he does in South Africa. Pujara unfortunately went there pretty raw. With runs under his belt and newfound confidence, he would be more successful on away tours henceforth methinks.
I would say facing Morkel and Steyn in South Africa is a far more daunting prospect than facing a Anderson, Finn and then misfiring Broad. Be that as it may, Azhar did decently in England. Although Azhar's conversion rate from 50s to 100s is a little worrisome, he is improving rapidly.
As for Pujara, I would tend to ignore his South Africa 3-inning performance. Can't judge a batsman's FTBness or lack of FTBness from such a small sample. If he tours SAF/ENG/AUS now and fails, its a different ball game altogether.
Right now, No comparison from my side. Can't really say who is better.
Didn't Azhar score a 150 in england too?The beginning of this thread has just been like the epic (nd closed lol) Umar Akmal vs Virat Kohli thread.
Anyway, i quite liked Junior and even Azhar. Azhar being technically correct isn't bound to fail that often, will have a proper career. Pujara however will have to bring it outside India no doubt. In India, you will always get someone who'd look invincible against the best of them. Remember how Wasim Jaffer hammered Akhtar co? For all the excitement currently, it's well understood that Pujara can still be 'booted out' if he doesn't deliver in the three countries that matter most ie, Aus, Eng and RSA.
Having said that, Azhar always haven't set the world on fire either. I guess he has one great 90 in England, that stands out among all his big knocks played in UAE which despite being outside home still dont hold much value for a SC player. Pujara would do the same, probably better in UAE. Even here in India, pitches really haven't been typically flat in last two tests, there was enough in them for spinners and even fast bowlers. He's stood out for India with 400 runs in 3 innings, while the likes of Kohli, Gambhir, SRT, Yuvraj have all failed. If the pitches were that flat, others would have contributed something as well.
Azhar Ali is no MoYo either!

Azhar is better than kohli for sure. I think Pujara will go down as an all time great but its too early to compare either Azhar or Pujara with each other.
The sample size is too small. Pujara has played what only 7 Test Matches and 5 of them have been in India.
On the other hand Azhar has played most of his matches if not all of his matches away from home. So definitely, at this point Azhar is better than Pujara for me. However, it's still a bit too early to judge.
how you can be so SURE??
i am sure that chinese play better football then brazilians,,full stop
